Can I just say something?

If you've experienced hardship, if your life is sucker-punching you, if it seems like money is a plague to your bank account, this message goes out to all those hopeful for a better life.  Stop hoping, and start doing.  If you aren't fighting day and night for a better life, you either are to some degree complacent with your life (and you should be happy about this), or don't care enough to go that extra 5 feet, or that extra hour, or that extra few steps (and you have no reason to complain, since you have the means to improve).  Anyone else, my heart goes out to you, since it is unfair to fight with every breath in your body and STILL not get ahead.
